If you also really love the long episodes give this a like and let Simon know. When i see any whistlerverse vid over an hour i get very excited.
the writer needs so much props for this one. big ups on him, this dude really threaded existential poetry into the dynamic between literary discourse and cultural hide and seek backed by mind-numbing academic research
Simon, a lifelong European citizen, confused why Nuremburg would possibly be filled with replica buildings and landmarks. Meanwhile, me, a lifelong US citizen, looking at my monitor wondering how he forgot about WWII... Let's go, Factboi.
I totally vote for Simon to read actual audio books and comment on them. “ what are the Hobbits up to, I don’t get it”
Biggest thing right off the bat, if he truly lived in a room where he couldn’t sit up let alone stand, there’s no way he’d be able to walk at all
Dennis you freaking legend for writing a 3 hour episode.
I've been watching for 2 hours before I realized I still had another hour plus to go. Didn't realize I was sitting here for 2 hours watching, so well done gentlemen and ladies.
I think he was actually abused and left alone in a room for months or years. That had put him in shock and once he started to remember he realized his best option was to play into people's assumptions. He was a victim who learned how to be what he needed to be in order to get what he wanted and survive.
Less than ten minutes in and this is already a hundred times better than a Dan Brown novel.
I do think everyone jumps quickly to the "if his story wasn't true, he was a con artist" without an appropriate amount of room for the later conning being learned behavior. Like, he was surrounded by folks who
Love these long ones!! Julian calling out Whistle Boys flawless pronunciation of 'Effortlessly' actually had me laughing out loud. Well done Deniz, Julian, and Simon!! Keep 'em coming!
Simon, ever hear about the child Jeannie who was isolated in a totally dark room since she was less than 2 years old? With no family members allowed to talk with her? Rescued at age 13. Her language was severely impaired as were her abilities to interact with other humans. She was never able to focus her eyes past 10 feet as she'd never had to before because her dark room just 10'× 10. A very interesting story and ultimately a very sad one.
I've found myself often wondering if Deniz quit writing for Simon after the Arno Funke's script. Really happy to see him back! Looking forward to spending the next 3 hours
The quality of writing is out of this world. How can you afford to have half a book written for a video? Great work, author!
I saw Herzog's movie about Kaspar Hauser forty years ago, and, while I have a lot of respect for his work, it turns out there is much more to the story. I'm really impressed by how thoroughly Deniz has researched this. Thank you.
YAY! thank you for the hard work! ♥️
Your knack for uploading just as I'm going to bed is absolutely top tier and I thank you for your service.
Also, you should remember that the Kaspar Hauser case happened during the height of the Romantic era. People were fascinated by the exotic, mysterious and unknown. You had Romantic art, Romantic philosophy, Romantic science... Romantic scientists dabbled in electricity, magnetism and hypnosis and tried to combine it with occult and supernatural ideas. This is a very important background.
this might sound weird but im a night gaurd and i quite like whenever Simon goes on tangents. Other than my wife and our 6 month old son hes my only human interaction most of the time please dont stop tangenting
